Derrick Henry is preparing to enter season No. 10 in the NFL. Henry will head into year No. 2 with the Baltimore Ravens, as the 31-year-old running back appears as motivated as ever to play at a high level and help lead his team to a Super Bowl.

After spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Tennessee Titans, Henry took his talents to Baltimore. In his first season sharing a backfield with quarterback, Lamar Jackson, Henry remained a workhorse, carrying the ball more than 300 times for the fourth time in his career (325).

Henry's 325 rushing attempts brought him 1,921 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns. The yards trailed only Saquon Barkley (2,005) and the TDs were tied for the lead league with Jahmyr Gibbs and James Cook.

As he gets further from his thirtieth birthday, Henry's offseason training regimen has become a hot topic of conversation. Reportedly, Henry spends approximately $240 thousand per year on body maintenance.

While he appears to treat his body like a sacred temple, even "King Henry" enjoys the occasional cheat meal.

On Wednesday, during an appearance on the "Rich Eisen Show", Henry revealed his favorite cheat meal.

"I'm a breakfast person, so I like steak, eggs, and potatoes. I like French toast or even a waffle," Henry said.

Rich Eisen attempted to dig deeper, asking if Henry enjoys a sugary cereal or a slice of pizza as part of his cheat meal.

"Na, no cereal. I don't eat cereal. Pizza, every once and a while, but I'm not a big pizza person," Henry said.

Henry ranks No. 19 all-time in rushing yards and is the active rushing leader with 11,423 yards. He sits just 15 rushing yards behind Steven Jackson for No. 18 all-time.

He's also tied with Jim Brown for No. 6 all-time in rushing TDs (106). He sits just four TDs behind Walter Payton at No. 5.

Henry's march toward history will begin during the Ravens Week 1 matchup on Sept. 7 against the Buffalo Bills.
